In modern day society social networking has worked its way into the lives of millions of adolescents, taking a permanent place, becoming something that many teens would say they couldn’t live without. Our youth is becoming dependent on social networking sites such as facebook, myspace, twitter and pinterest. It is time to limit how involved the youth today is with social networking. The scientific community has only just begun to discover the various risks and benefits associate with social media and the ways in which it is changing everything from human interaction to childhood development. Dr. Larry D. Rosen of the California State University psychology department has been studying the effects of technology on people for more than 25 years.
Others say that texting too much will make people stop using email as a way to communicate with other people directly. This will make people anti-social and they will rely less on their instincts of reading people’s emotions through their face or voice. In the internet, some organization does a survey about how many people prefer texting over calling their friends or family. A recent Nielsen report shows that children aged 13 to 17 average an astonishing 3,417 text messages a month -- some 45 percent of all text messages. This breaks down to seven texts “every waking hour,” or roughly one every 8 1/2 minutes.
Millions of people around the world with access to the Internet are members of one or more social networks. They have a permanent online presence where they create profiles, share photos, share their thoughts with friends and spend hours catching up with what their hundreds of friends are doing with their lives. Give most people access to the Internet and they will spend the next hour checking their email, their Facebook profile, their MySpace Web page, updating their Twitter account and their LinkedIn account. And it doesn’t happen only once a day. The time spent using social networking applications is one reason why many businesses are reluctant to allow employees to use sites like Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn during office hours.
Facebook and the other social media websites are on the front line of the privacy issue due to their size – Facebook has over 200 million users (Kennedy, 2010, 1). Their privacy controls are often limited and the default settings prearranged by the website allow unknown people to contact the professional and add them as a "friend", to which the Unite/CPHVA professional officer Gavin Fergie says: "There is a professional boundary there that could be breached. Practitioners may not have set correct barriers to restrict access to material on their Facebook page. This will mean users who happen to be clients will be able to see photos and comments that a practitioner may have made on a friend's profile page, etc. This may make the client question the practitioner's credibility" (Ly & Ratnaike, 2011, 2).
One of the main setbacks that companies face when using the INTERNET as a tool is the misuse of the INTERNET by employees. Not all employees misuse the INTERNET but as we know, it only takes “One weak link to pop the chain”, in other words if one employee slows down production then the entire company will suffer! Should companies prohibit employees from using the INTERNET during company time for personal use or should they simply limit the use? As a business owner my first thought would be to eliminate INTERNET use during company time. It’s all about the bottom line.

According to Consumer Reports study, over one million children had been bullied online via Facebook in the past year. Being bullied causes major trauma like depression, stress, eating disorders, anxiety and in extreme cases it can even lead to suicide. Facebook is tied very much to many young people’s social standing and self-esteem. More than 5 million children of the age 10 and under are using Facebook without parental supervision. This leaves them openly vulnerable to a large extent of threats varying from sexual predators to identity theft to malicious software (malware).
